Welcome!
Welcome to Dog Bloggery. I’m Tashi, and Caryn is my human. Together we are an animal therapy team. Animals can help people. For example, did you know that reading to animals helps kids learn to read, and that it’s beneficial to the animals too? (We love the attention). Your library may have a kids reading program with dogs, but right now nobody can go to libraries. So Caryn and I decided to make a blog and see if kids might like to read our stories online. Of course, adults can enjoy our stories too. Everyone is welcome, it’s all about ME and my adventures!
We publish a new post weekly-ish (scroll down for the latest). If you subscribe we’ll send you updates. But that’s not all! We would love it if you would participate. You could send us stories, drawings, photos – whatever you want to share – by clicking on the “Submit Your Story” link in the upper right. If you have a pet, you can read the blog to her. If you listen carefully, your pet might tell you what she wants to say back! If you don’t have a pet, you can write about YOU! We don’t get to see our friends right now, so maybe we can make friends here. It might make life a little bit sweeter for all of us.
Dear Dr. Alex…
Dear Dr. Alex, Just when I was starting to get attached, you told me we wouldn't be seeing each other anymore. This seems like a mixed message. You told me you were happy with my x-rays. [...]
Home stretch
I had a tele-health meeting with my physical therapist in Seattle this week. We discussed my exercises and how far (more like how near) I can walk this week. She's very nice and has good exercises, [...]
Bee Here Now
Did you know that there is a "World Bee Day"? Can you imagine dedicating an entire day to a furry little bug who flies around gathering pollen from flowers all day (good thing they don't have [...]
Life in the Slow Lane
Holy Jumblebees! Did you see the double rainbow last week? And the sky? It was so amazing I forgot to post a blog! Anyhoo, that's how it looked outside. Inside, the house looks like a rug [...]
Before and After
The day started out fine, in fact interesting. Caryn dressed herself (instead of me) up strangely 10,000 new neighbors moved in all babies and one big girl called a queen, who was in a tiny gift [...]
All Plans are Subject to Reality
A wise person once said that no matter what plans you make, they are always subject to reality. For example, it was my plan to go hiking and catch frisbees and play with my dog friends [...]
Dogs Wear Fur, Not Clothes
Caryn must be as bored as I am, because this week she started dressing me up. I thought she only did that with kittens... ...and in computer drawings Maybe it's because we haven't fostered kittens in [...]
Donut Dreams
Oh boy. Strangest week yet. Way too many doctors. We went all the way to Seattle so that I could dream about donuts. I guess I need to explain myself. We were getting pretty good with [...]
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Caryn: What are we going to write about this week? Tashi: Since you haven't taken me anywhere, there's not much to write about. Caryn: Come on, we crossed the street today and entered the park! Tashi: [...]
The Tail End of a Week
Dahlia and I have been having sleeping contests. I tell you, that girl can sleep. I wonder who sleeps more, koala bears or cats.... It's been a very, very, (very), long time since I've gone anywhere [...]
